Why does my heat only work when my car is moving?

It’s caused when your coolant gets low. Fix your leak and bleed the coolant system. Or you can check this theory by filling and bleeding the coolant system now. If it works, it will be ok until the coolant system gets low and causes the air bubble again.

Why does my car blow out cold air and no heat?
